oven, develops a glowing spot or shows other signs of
damage, do not use that area of the range. A glowing
spot indicates the surface unit may fail and present a
potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the heating
element off immediately and have it replaced by a
qualified service technician.
Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or
the interior surface of the oven or warming drawer. These
surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they
are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface
units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening and crevices around the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts
may occur. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov
and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take
food temperatures and check several locations.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, or hang on the
oven door, drawer, or cooktop. They could damage the
range or tip it over, causing severe injury or death.
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they
contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven.
